Tu B’ Shevet – Celebrate Fruit Bearing Trees

Tu B’Shevet starts on this year January 21, 2019. Since the Hebrew calandar dates starts at sunset, this holiday starts tonight.

In Israel they eat from the first fruits. Here in the USA you can start your indoor tomato seeds.

Hug a tree, tell your landscaping happy Tu B’ Shevet and wish it a good year.

Say a blessing on fruit that you have not had in awhile because it was not in season until now.

Hate Crimes on the Rise

I was watching tv the other day and caught this. It is mind blowing to think as humans we can not get past hatred. I wait for the day that hatred is gone.

Snow in Israel and Magnetic Pole Reversal Report

Snow in Israel is the 1st few minutes of video. If I remember correctly; snow is actually  considered  a judgment. I find snow  beautiful  and pristine , but the deeper meanings  in kabbalah  says differently.

As for the mangelic pole reversal report – it seems the government  shut down is delaying  this.

Beating Weapons Into Plowshares

Beating weapons (swords) into Plowshares is not only something that will happen in the future according to the prophets of the Tanak (Isaiah 2 vs 4). It is something that is already happening in Israel with the rockets that are fired OVER the WALL in Gaza, towards Israel.

Can you imagine the fear of every day wondering and worrying when the next siren is about to go off because of an “In coming rocket”? Or having to have a bomb shelters in your town so you can survive! I cannot even think of it! My town has an old building that has been a school and there is a plaque on the front of the building saying it is a “fallout shelter”. (This is on the building. There is one at both front entrances)

 

We do not have rockets fired at us, so it is just a comfort knowing we have a shelter. This is not the case in Israel! The bomb shelters have play areas for children. That is how often the people in the community have to take shelter.

Here is a webpage that creates beauty out of horrible rockets.

Depression: Knowing There is a Dark Hole

I found this article doing some seaches for someone who was feeling as they were in a “dark place”. After reading the articles i realized that both were stating that fear of either change; or a change in our comfort level,  is actually what is being challenged and to embrase it.

I wanted to share the Psychology Today article. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-addiction-connection/201506/the-deep-dark-hole-depression article.

The screenshot below I thought was perfect response.

I have included another blogger, that i took a screenshot of an awesome response. I was not able to find the blog again that i copied that from.

Please share this with anyone you know is struggling.
